 Myth: Speed vans measure the speed of every car that passes Chris gave a straightforward answer to this, saying: "No. "The speed guns are used manually and I will only check the speed of a car that I suspect is going too fast.

What this means is that drivers will not be fined unless they are doing 35mph in a 30mph zone or similarly, 79mph on the motorway. Chris also went on to add that speed limits are in place for a good reason, and that drivers should always respect them as hitting someone at even a slightly higher speed could greatly increase the chance of fatality..
